About Lonesome River Band
Since its formation decades ago, Lonesome River Band continues its reputation as one of the most respected names in bluegrass music. Five-time International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Banjo Player of the Year, and winner of the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass, Sammy Shelor leads the group that is constantly breaking new ground in acoustic music. With two stellar lead vocalists, Jesse Smathers (guitar) and Adam Miller (mandolin), and the impressive talents of Mike Hartgrove (fiddle) and Kameron Keller (bass), the band seamlessly comes together, performing the trademark sound that fans continue to embrace.
Giving is Living
We want concerts at Pangea Gardens to translate into benefiting young people in our local communities. We request a modest price of admission to help cover a portion of the production costs of each benefit event, but we don’t request a donation minimum when you attend a concert. After the concert, we simply hope that you will feel inspired to go online to the beneficiary organization’s web site and donate whatever amount of generosity fills your heart … knowing you will be helping children from the local area who have genuine needs.
Alternatively, if you prefer, you can donate on the day of the concert or, afterwards, by mailing a check to the address indicated below each concert.
Blue Ridge Music Center
This concert will benefit the Blue Ridge Music Center in Galax, Virginia, located at mile marker 213 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Blue Ridge Music Center preserves, interprets, and presents the evolving musical traditions of the Blue Ridge Mountains, highlighting the influence of American Roots music on all kinds of music.
Donation information will be available at the venue on the day of the concert, or may be accessed on their website.
Come join us for a very special day and experience this wonderful new venue being opened for the enjoyment of good folks like you!
